That's a CPU not GPU. It looks like you have a nvidia card though judging from the xorg logs. I presume you haven't installed the correct drivers for your hardware. See the arch wiki for it.
installed the nvidia driver still not working but the number of errors has severely decreased

probably be a great idea to actually post the command you used to install the drivers, 'cause there's a shed load in World, Galaxy and Universe and that looks rather messy (all those warnings and missing modules etc).  Also, when you get the next issue, could you just keep one thread going?  They're all to do with you installing from base , and it gets very disjointed when there are multiple questions on multiple threads for what is you configuring/installing the same thing, a base install.  Thanks.

ok. i installed nvidia just by doing the nvidia command, i also let it automatically do the config file, that's all. i really dont understand why it doesn't want to start

what exactly is "the nvidia command"?

the thing that flags in my mind, and i could be totally wrong and linux might be different wth modern nvid cards, but if a system is installed without a specific nvid driver, it will fall back on the basic driver - it won't be pretty (the gui), but it doesn't stop you getting there (that's how it works on MS, and on an old thinkpad with an nvid years back with debian).  Like i said, i could be wrong on that and maybe a kindly Dev will say I am, if i am, then I'll learn something new too.

pacman -S nvidia is the nvidia command also yes my screen has its own small graphics card which always works so it's weird

It would be extremely helpful if you could do a pastebin of Xorg log file so we can actually see what your problem is.
